Addressing [B] Parameters for Block Tags

This Driver allows using a Block Tag for reading events. This Block Tag must have all [B] parameters set to 0 (zero) and a size of 3 (three) Elements.

B2

0 (zero)

B3

B4

Size

This Block Tag must be configured with writing disabled. Block Tags return events on a list, therefore they can return 0 (zero) or more events. To properly handle these events, users must use a Block Tag's OnRead event, which is called for each event sent by a panel. In this event's script, the Block Tag Elements can be accessed to determine the type of event generated, according to the next table.
